We lived in a joint family, and all my cousins – though they’re all settled abroad (mostly US) now, are like my own brothers and sisters, and our bond has remained intact over time. Was awakened to the news on Saturday that my cousin brother Dinesh, hardly 41 – has expired in a fatal car…
RwB: Today is MahaShivarathri It would be nice if you could share how you had spent this shivaratri. Here is my story.
Procession at Malleswaram 18th Cross Ganesha temple this evening (TN Seetharam was a special guest though as I was watching the procession, didn’t go near the dias where I could’ve probably seen him). Just by chance I happened to end up at the right place at the right time, the timing was perfect to get…
A short (around 30 seconds) video taken with the mobile (Motorola V3i) while waiting in a lounge a few days ago. A curious onlooker was watching me watch the fish… so later on gave him my mobile showing the video which made him smile… he showed it to another security guard as well. Sometimes it…

I found this brilliant post by Suresh really funny and at the same time some serious food for thought! More people have heart attacks on Sunday in the West than on any other day The West is sun-oriented — too much activity. People are driving themselves mad with their activity. Too much speed — everything…
Just sharing this nice ppt I received from a friend as an email forward: Happiness is a voyage
My (cousin) brother visiting from Australia wanted to see the Osho home opposite to Chitrakala Parishat, Kumara Krupa Road. So I’d also had accompanied him out of curiosity.
